Synopsis:

[Qing Dynasty quick transmigration story with Kangxi as male lead - World One Synopsis]

Li Jiayin, sixteen years old, is a tearfully beautiful, curvaceous maidservant in the Qianqing Palace tea room. On her first day entering the palace, she receives imperial praise and rewards, promising a bright future.

Her clan advises that the Emperor's temper is unpredictable and the palace isn't a good place - she should leave when she comes of age. Remembering the bloody state of a beaten little eunuch, Li Jiayin wholeheartedly agrees.

But Heaven has other plans - a system latches onto her, demanding she complete tasks or be killed. To survive, Li Jiayin sneaks around the Qianqing Palace like a thief.

[Collect Kangxi's Beloved Items]

After breaking the Emperor's favorite cup, she apologizes profusely in public while secretly hiding ceramic shards in her pouch - dividing one piece into two if insufficient.

[Obtain Kangxi's Personal Garments]

Marveling at the system's intelligence, she then rummages through the Emperor's sleepwear, finally finding a loose thread to snip and store.

[Skin Contact with Kangxi]

Certain the system wants her dead, she rolls her eyes and touches the Emperor's hand during night watch, casually plucking a hair for her pouch.

As tasks continue, she becomes the Emperor's personal maid, her family's pillar, and familiar with imperial consorts.

When long task-free, she assumes the system vanished - until a lethal one appears:

[Consummate Marriage with Kangxi]

Thinking she wouldn't dare? She truly doesn't! Immediately composing herself, she tearfully writes a suicide note.

Yet the Qianqing Palace bed shakes half the night, and she becomes an official concubine. Shocked, terrified, confused, she trembles.

During her consort ennoblement, the Emperor says: "To collect my beloved items, you break cups. To obtain my garments, you pull threads. For skin contact, just a midnight hand touch?"

Doomed! Her life is forfeit! This system is unreliable!!!

She is Shen Jiayi, the cherished daughter of a modern conglomerate, who is kidnapped and dies in a car accident, only to be reborn into the body of Suozhuolun Wanyi, a low-ranking concubine in the Kangxi Emperor's harem in an alternate timeline.

Initially terrified and cautious, she slowly opens her heart and befriends Lady Wuya, finding solace in their sisterhood.

However, naive to the treacherous nature of the palace, she tragically loses her child and the Emperor's favor, only to be suppressed further by the woman she trusted.

When an earthquake strikes, she rescues the unconscious Kangxi Emperor, but her feat is stolen by Lady Wuya, who gains the credit and is promoted to a consort despite having no children.

Blessed with a second chance at life, she vows to make Lady Wuya pay her debts in blood and experience a fate worse than death.

Growth type + Love at first sight + Stunning beauty + Sweet doting + Doting husband + Sober-minded.

Important matters repeated three times: This is an alternate history! Alternate history! Alternate history!

Jiaojiao traveled through time and arrived in the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

She is now called Harignana, the most radiant and resilient flower on the grassland.

As a transmigrator, she never imagined she would have any relationship with the narrow-minded and stingy Emperor Kangxi.

But she was discovered and forcibly brought into the palace.

Harignana had no choice but to adapt to this era.

The first rule for survival is not to be love-struck, yet she must make Kangxi believe she loves him to the ends of the earth.

Not skilled in palace fights? Front it is Kangxi! Behind the scenes, she crams knowledge.

Framed by someone? Front it is Kangxi! Behind the scenes, she gathers evidence to strike back!

Excluded by others? As long as Kangxi is by her side, that's enough. She didn't come to the palace to find bosom friends!

Punished? Fainting and acting frightened make Kangxi cherish her even more.

Cursed as a bewitching concubine? Thank you for the praise. Ordinary people can't be a bewitching concubine!

She is the most holy flower on the grassland. She needs no one; she can be beautiful on her own.

But when she truly ascends to a high position, Kangxi asks her with red eyes: Is there me in your heart at all?

Harignana verbally: Yes!

Internally: Just not much!

Small Scene:

Kangxi: Harignana, tell me why you don't want to enter the palace?

Harignana: I'm afraid you have a problem!

Kangxi: I am very clean!

... The room fell silent. Kangxi gritted his teeth.

(Not Double Clean) Transmigrated into the Qing Dynasty and became concubine Xu, favored by Emperor Kangxi. Xu Lejin was shocked. She had lived for fifty years with only one man, and now her reputation was ruined...

After sobering up, Xu Lejin resolutely chose to accept her fate. After all, she had gained a beautiful, young, and tender body for free, so it wasn't a total loss!

The consorts in the harem: "She's just a palace maid of the Empress, nothing to fear."

"What? That palace maid, Xu, is pregnant?"

"...Xu gave birth to twins?"

"Xu was promoted in rank?"

"Xu was ennobled as Yu Pin!"

"...Yu Fei?"

"Yu Fei gave birth to twins again."

"The Emperor ennobled Xu as Yu Guifei?"

"Yu Guifei is over forty and is pregnant again..."

"The Emperor ennobled Yu Guifei as Empress?"

Xuan Ye: "My beloved consort can give birth! In the palace, status is gained through one's children. I made Lejin Empress, what's wrong with that? If you're not satisfied, why don't you give birth to more princes and princesses for me?"

The consorts burst into tears.

Emperor Pei Heng was crippled in his youth and exiled to the frontier with his mother's family, enduring great suffering. His trusted followers were all gone, with only his maid, Yue Zhi, by his side, never leaving him.

After ten years of bitter cold on the frontier, Pei Heng returned to the capital and ascended the throne. He crowned Yue Zhi as a princess and bestowed upon her a princess's mansion.

Yue Zhi had been suffering from a chronic illness due to years of overwork and was now weak and blind. Pei Heng only hoped she would have a peaceful life free from worry for the rest of her days. But when he saw her smiling and gently stroking the young imperial physician’s face, he was filled with rage and resentment, crushing his jade thumb ring, almost losing his composure.

On countless stormy nights, her warmth belonged only to him. That night, Pei Heng had a wild dream. The dream's intoxicating pleasures gnawed at his bones, consumed his soul, and brought him overwhelming ecstasy. It was chaotic and earth-shattering. He woke up covered in sweat, with the beauty still before his eyes…

To quell the unbearable thoughts, he chose a consort for Yue Zhi. He endured and endured, but ultimately couldn't resist his longing and wanted to see her one last time before her wedding. Just a glance, and his beloved Imperial Sister turned back to look at him, her clear eyes smiling sweetly, asking, “Is the person here the consort?”

Pei Heng was instantly choked with emotion, his eyes burning, and replied, “Yes.” He held her frail, soft body and kissed her piously, completely falling into an irreversible obsession.

After Yue Zhi’s wedding, she often felt something strange. The new emperor, who had personally chosen her consort, did not want the consort to accompany her to the palace. The new emperor, who had always disdained romantic relationships, actually inquired about her private matters with the consort. She and her consort were deeply in love with no distance between them, yet after she became pregnant, the consort mysteriously disappeared.

Yue Zhi couldn't understand what had gone wrong. Until the new emperor specially decreed her to enter the palace to recuperate and, in private, held her hand, saying, “Imperial Sister, don't be sad. You still have me, your Emperor. I will treat this child as my own.” That pair of calloused hands had ignited a scorching heat on her skin countless times… She couldn't possibly be mistaken.

—Pre-sale《How to Humiliate a Beautiful Widower》—

A pure and passionate orphaned girl × A paternal, compassionate, and abstinent emperor.

Everyone says the new emperor is merciful and benevolent. Although he has no children of his own, he has adopted several orphaned children into the palace, treating all the people of the world as his own. Yun Xiaoyu, however, knows that he cannot forget his deceased wife and stillborn child, which is why he adopts orphans to ease his grief.

She has no right to comment on his past. She is just the most unremarkable of Chu Huaijin’s adopted children. Others laugh at her for being stupid and foolish, unable to win her father's favor, but they don't know that she secretly gazes upon his celestial visage every night, having already kissed his cold, thin lips to a cherry red in private. She was never the hawk or dog Chu Huaijin wanted. She only wanted to kneel at his feet, kiss him devoutly, and make him cry.

Chu Huaijin finds it difficult to get through his days, missing his deceased wife. Fortunately, the adopted daughter he took in is innocent and lovely, providing him with much comfort. That night, he got drunk and mistook his adopted daughter for his deceased wife, pulling her into his arms. She, however, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him until he lost all sense. Chu Huaijin punished her and hit her. When he saw her look up, her clear eyes still held a shocking ardor and no sign of repentance. He married her off to a distant land for a moment of peace.

Who would have thought that in the lonely nights that followed, the figure of his deceased wife would no longer appear, and his beautiful dreams and nightmares would all be filled with that rebellious little girl…

Later, he learned the truth: his deceased wife faked her death and eloped with a lover, and even the child was alive and not his… All his past deep affection was false. Amidst all his grief, he saw Yun Xiaoyu walking side-by-side with her new husband, delicate, beautiful, and smiling. Her gaze fell on him, lingering and bold, making him angry yet also excited. —She still wanted to ruin him. It was fine; he didn't want to suffer any longer.

That night, he summoned her to his bedchamber. “I am willing to be this sinner…” She said nothing, only kissing and loving him, swallowing his arrogance and fragility, returning his sweet, burning honey, filling his decade of emptiness.

Yan Jiarou has a secret: she needs to taste the Third Prince's blood periodically. She has lived in the palace for a long time but is not of royal blood. Her father died saving the Imperial Consort, and in gratitude, the Emperor granted Yan Jiarou the title of princess, raising her in the palace from childhood. She grew up with the princes, like childhood sweethearts.

Although she was living under someone else's roof, the Emperor treated her very well, and most of the princes doted on her, which led to her spoiled and willful personality. Everyone in the palace indulged her, except for one person.

—The Third Prince, Xiao Che, possessed an exceptional appearance, surpassing all other princes. However, he was unconventional and unrestrained, always opposing her and delighting in teasing and provoking her. Jiarou detested this Third Prince the most; her affection naturally lay with the First Prince, Xiao Jue, who was as radiant as the moon and gentle and courteous, her 'Crown Prince brother'.

During a hunt, she was bitten by a wild fox. After that, she contracted a strange illness. A deep, inexplicable restlessness would surge from within her, making her uncomfortable. Only by taking a specific medicine could she find peace, and one of the key ingredients was crucial—blood.

Unfortunately, only Xiao Che's blood could make her intensely fascinated.

—

Crown Prince Xiao Jue recently noticed that his 'sweet and delicate' imperial sister, who always called him 'Crown Prince brother' and trailed behind him, had become distant. Instead, she was growing closer to Xiao Che, whom she used to dislike the most.

He felt uncomfortable and followed the two one day to a rockery in the imperial garden. There, he saw his beautiful and delicate imperial sister pinning Xiao Che against the rockery, standing on her tiptoes and leaning by his neck. A trace of crimson at her lips stood out starkly against her porcelain white face—it was blood!

And his Third Brother, who always opposed her, was currently cupping her waist, lightly biting her earlobe, and murmuring lazily in a magnetic voice, “Yanyan, slow down.” “Don’t forget what you promised me—that after using my blood, you would stay away from the Crown Prince, hmm?” The Crown Prince, hiding behind the rockery and witnessing everything, had his eyes split with rage.

—

Yan Jiarou was greatly troubled by this strange illness, but what troubled her even more was that the illness was progressing. Initially, it was just blood, but later it would be...

The second work to be written: "Woven Heart"

Jiang Wan, born into a prestigious family, lived a life of luxury and doting affection from childhood. She thought her life would continue smoothly until she accidentally discovered she was not the true daughter of the Duke's mansion. Someone had swapped her and the real young master, and her true lineage was that of a lowly coachman's daughter, who was addicted to gambling and often abused his wife and daughters.

If Jiang Wan were to reclaim her rightful heritage, she would fall into an endless abyss. Moreover, the real young master, Qi Ji, had been adopted and now held a distinguished and radiant position, the dream lover of many noble ladies in the capital. He had everything, and switching back would have no impact on him, but it would be different for her; once switched back, she would have nothing.

She decided to keep silent, burying this secret in her heart forever. However, she did not expect to hide it from everyone except Qi Ji. To prevent any leaks, she had to beg him. The once arrogant and willful Miss Jiang now humbled herself, prostrating herself at his boots, her beautiful and fair face streaming with tears, making her look pitiful—

“Qi Ji, I beg you… Our families are old friends, you can still visit the mansion often and see your parents…”

Qi Ji sneered, his boot tip lifting her chin, his tone indifferent and aloof: “But why should I help you?”

Jiang Wan steeled herself, her delicate hand gently resting on his knee, her voice sweet and melodious: “Qilang…”

Qi Ji slowly raised his eyebrows, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

—

Although Qi Ji came from a prominent background, his parents were extremely strict with him. He had never experienced parental affection, and beneath his radiant exterior lay a detached and cold heart. To Jiang Wan, he saw her merely as a spoiled noble daughter, arrogant and foolish, with only her appearance being somewhat noteworthy. He originally despised such people, and the only thing he envied about her was that she had parents who doted on her fiercely.

But it turned out that this life was rightfully his, and Jiang Wan had stolen everything. Now, she shamelessly came to ask him to keep the secret for her. He agreed, just to see how far she would go.

However, no matter how he humiliated her or sought revenge, she endured it all, coaxing him with good temper: “Qilang, don’t be angry…” He thought Jiang Wan would always be at his whim until the day the truth was revealed and their true identities came to light. Seeing the look of relief on Jiang Wan's face, he panicked for the first time. He had a premonition that something was gradually slipping from his control, and he realized that the one who feared the exposure the most, from some unknown point in time, was no longer Jiang Wan.

The next work to be written: "Messy Cloud Hair"

As the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Xie Wanning had to disguise herself as a man and enter the palace as the Crown Prince's companion due to the mysterious disappearance of her twin brother just before he was summoned to the palace, in order to prevent disaster from befalling her family. The Crown Prince, Helan Heng, was wild, unruly, and defiant of discipline. It was rumored he had driven away a renowned scholar of the time.

The Emperor and Empress were extremely worried. Knowing that the Grand Tutor's son, Xie Wanxing, possessed a jade-like character and proper demeanor, they specifically ordered him to enter the palace as the Crown Prince's companion to advise and guide him. The imperial edict was difficult to disobey, so Xie Wanning had to brace herself and constantly restrain and advise the Crown Prince.

—

Helan Heng had recently taken a strong dislike to the new companion. A sissy with an effeminate appearance, but daring enough to always try to control him, and unshakeable. So he resorted to various ways to tease and bully her. Until by chance, he discovered her secret. Then he changed his method of

【In a palace struggle drama filled with deception and danger at every turn, how many episodes could you possibly survive?】

Qi Nian'an didn't care, because she was just a super idol making a fortune. Immediately after, she transmigrated into the all-BE script she was holding.

Her role is a spy from an enemy nation, sent into the deep palace with the intent to approach, but she's tricked by the Emperor and exposed, leading to a tragic end.

Qi Nian'an doesn't want to die miserably. Her quality of life requirements aren't high either: just piles of gold and jewels, power, fame, reverence from thousands, and the Emperor's favor.

Demon Concubine's Secret Manual, Rule 1: Deny everything.

What should you do when someone publicly accuses you of being a spy and presents evidence one by one? Smash them with mud until they shut up.

# “Clear my name!!!”

# “Your Majesty, concubine didn't mean to, the mud bit my hand.”

# “Colluding with foreign enemies? Oh, they were so charmed by my beauty they defected.”

Demon Concubine's Secret Manual, Rule 2: Stick to the powerful.

Rumor has it that a former Imperial Consort within the palace is deeply rooted, with her family's influence controlling the court.

This powerful figure is great, truly great – embrace her!

When she looked up, she met the extremely familiar face of her best friend.

# “What? Palace struggle? We don't need an actress best friend when she's the embodiment of power.”

# “Mysterious, I've stumbled into a little trouble again.”

# “One word from me, and the Imperial Consort will make laws for me, granting me sole right of interpretation.”

Demon Concubine's Secret Manual, Final Rule: All eyes on me.

A grand banquet, the tinkling of ruby skirts, a slender waist.

She playfully leans forward, slipping under the light, moon-white veil. Looking into the man's deep, cold, abyss-like eyes, her slender fingertips boldly knead his thin lips.

Late at night, the Emperor severely punishes her boldness behind the curtain.

Liquids flow, warm air surrounds them, breaths mingle, and they are lost in an intimate embrace.

# “The Empress? Should I be her? I don't really want to, Your Majesty. Your insistence makes it very difficult for me.”

# “I'm just breathing; seducing you is your subjective interpretation.”

***

“Imperial Consort, Consort An is singing strange songs in the Imperial Garden again. The Emperor is completely captivated!”

“The child is still young and full of energy, Consort Ling. Be more tolerant.”

“Imperial Consort, I saw it with my own eyes, Consort Gui is meeting a guard over the wall. She's a spy, Your Highness! Please don't be deceived!”

“It's just a bit of fun between lovers, Consort. You're overthinking it.”

# “Mysterious, I'm telling you, I saw your nephew fighting with Consort Jia, they have a thing going on.”

# “Holy crap, the Emperor is huge.”

# “Mysterious, are you going to the hunting grounds? If you don't go, neither will I.”

# “It seems there's a rebellion outside… Never mind, let me continue telling you about that Consort Yi…”

“Your Majesty, should there be a next life, this concubine wishes to never have met you, and to never see each other for all eternity.”

Yu Jingchen hated her, yet the last thing she did in her life was to block that fatal sword for him. She said, “Your Majesty, can this one life of mine leave behind a brilliant color in your heart?”

Perhaps heaven felt his mission was not yet complete, giving him new life.

After rebirth… he discovered that she had also been radiant and captivating…

Things to note:

1. The male lead is reborn. In his previous life, he abused the female lead physically and emotionally.

2. The male lead is cold-hearted and indifferent. He does not fall in love with the female lead immediately after his rebirth; there will be a process.

3. The male lead is an emperor. He is not pure but will only have eyes for the female lead after falling in love with her.

4. The female lead is well-protected, innocent, not a strong female character, but not a naive damsel either.

5. The female lead did not experience rebirth and genuinely loves the male lead.

6. At the request of readers, if you wish to see the female lead reborn later and the male lead chasing after her, please leave a message, and it may be written depending on the situation.
